    Sorry, I honestly thought it would raise the average pay, which in turn is used to promote capitalism.

      Sounds like you’re new to the world. Averages bury the lede. Median wages show a better picture.

        I’m pretty sure thats what Rockbottom is saying. They’re speaking descriptively, not prescriptively.

        Their first comment was said tongue-in-cheek.

        Right, can’t be said often enough. But we should never forget the shareholders, who want it this way.

      It does. People are just being dumb. (and yes… median wages do show a better picture).

      I, for one, understand that you agree with OP.
